All I Want Lyrics

[Intro]
I want everything I see, I wanna go in every mall, in every state, in every country, and buy shit
Whether I can afford it or not, nigga, I want bitches, I want cars, I don't give a fuck, I want it all, that's what the fuck we're here for

[Bridge]
They say, "Life is but a dream," nigga
I'm just tryna keep it real, nigga
They say, "Life is but a dream," nigga
I'm just tryna keep it real, nigga
They say, "Life is but a dream," nigga
I'm just tryna keep it real, nigga
They say, "Life is but a dream," nigga

[Hook]
It's just so many women, it's just so many chains
It's just so many watches, it's just too many things
I want (Woah, woah, woah)
It's just so many trips, it's just so many bottles
It's just too many whips, it's just too many models
I want (Woah, woah, woah)

[Chorus]
All I want is money; money, money, money (That's all I want)
Big face hundred; hundred, hundred, hundred (That's all I want)
That's all I want (That, that, that's all I want)
That's all I want (That, that, that's all I want)

[Verse 1]
Not a day goes by it ain't on my mind
I ain't gon' front, I ain't gon' lie
I'd rather have an M than an empty pocket
If hundreds ain't in 'em, them jeans ain't mine, aight
That's what I want, motherfucker
I'll never be a bum, motherfucker
You're talking 'bout like "it ain't about the money"
You just sound like a dumb motherfucker
A house on the hill by the lake
All real niggas can relate
You tryna book me for free?
But my rent is due on today
A better life is what we after
'Cause every dream I gotta capture
I always knew that I would blow up one day
Like a nuclear reactor


[Chorus]
All I want is money; money, money, money (That's all I want)
Big face hundred; hundred, hundred, hundred (That's all I want)
That's all I want (That, that, that's all I want)
That's all I want (That, that, that's all I want)


[Verse 2]
From the cradle to a label
From Decatur to the majors to the paper, no more neighbors
I used to say I never cared about the money
'Til I put food on my momma table
Followed the trail, coulda been in jail
The way that I lived, coulda been fatal
I must have had an angel
It's funny how I'm always on the screen
But as a teen, I never had cable

But now I want it all
The wealth, the ladies, the whips
I took a fantasy and made it exist
No one ever handed us shit

We took what we had and we made it the shit
That's transforming "dusty" to "luxury"
Being off in the cut, to cutlery

That's the gist, that's the summary
So if you feel how I'm feeling then fuck with me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

All B.o.B wants is … money! How superficial, you might say. But talking to MTV, B.o.B corrected criticism that this was just another shallow rap song:

You can listen to this song and say this song is just about money, this song is materialistic. Why is B.o.B. talking about this? And if you listen, it’s deeper than that. This is about accomplishment, it’s about growth, it’s about doing things that you spend your whole life accomplishing. Even if it has nothing necessarily to do about money, it’s a very emotional record.

In the song’s official music video, we see the rapper in front of a great wall made out of $100 dollar bills. He told MTV:

The concept of this video is really taking something as materialistic as money and really painting the picture broader and what it means to people. Basically, I’m performing in front of this never-ending wall of money. And it’s kind of symbolic to the never-ending rat race to get money.

The third single off Underground Luxury, and the album’s first track, was released November 4, 2013.
